I am sorry, this was my fault.. If you look at TranslationEngine, it
defines Real velocity (hence trying to extract (i.e. convert to c type)
double from the list [0,0,-1], which fails -- it should be a number) and
Vector3r translationAxis. Therefore, the correct way would be

 DeuxExMachina('TranslationEngine',{'subscribedBodies':[41],'velocity':1,'translationAxis':[0,0,-1])

(Not very logical, though, it would be enough to have one velocity
parameter instead of two...)
